Ryan McMahon investigates Thunder Bay | The Social

The journalist takes us behind the scenes of his new docuseries about Indigenous deaths in the Ontario city.

Co-hosted by Melissa Grelo, Cynthia Loyst, Lainey Lui and correspondent Jess Allen, THE SOCIAL brings a fresh, daily perspective on the up-to-the-minute news, pop culture, and lifestyle topics that matter most to Canadians.

Seriously? Why isn’t there a school for these kids to attend safely? Poor children, serial killers for sure, racism. This is horrendous. Everyone deserves access to a education and to live and get a great job 😢 I hope they get justice.

The totality of what matters is BEHAVIOUR ...etc ...

[lucka]

So, why isn't education in your own home a right, just like clean drinking water and a good GP? Rather than cast negatives at those on the front line, look at the cause, those who control the money and those who make the laws.

This is really evil behaviour treating aboriginals like they don’t have any rights to exist! This is horrible horrible situation, that I can hardly express precisely how I’m feeling! I throughly believe that any aboriginal person is similar to any other human being. Those who are destroying any aboriginal by killing them are in serious trouble with the Almighty Creator Lord Jesus Christ. These people also belong to Him as well. I can’t tell you individuals just how deeply saddened I am for this terrifically awful loss your people are going through! 😢You deserve to live life just like you were meant to!!! 🙏

Is there any way we can watch the Thunder Bay docuseries from the US?

Everyone needs to realize that life in Thunder Bay is nothing like other cities, if your a local native person you are harassed DAILY by police, the addiction problem is extremely serious (more meth clinics then coffee shops) .. I’ve lost almost everyone due to tbay not having the resources to actually help the people. I lived there for 30+ years and lived in the streets of tbay.. seen it all first hand. When I was 18 I was taken on a ride with police just to be ditched just outside the city limits- they told me I was going to the drunk tank(I was a bit tipsy but still aware) and yet they took my phone and shoes and ditched me at the side of the highway where I had to walk in -30 weather for almost 20mins before a good pedestrian picked me up and brought me home…. I’ll never trust Tbay police and neither should the residents who are still living there.. truly a nightmare situation for everyone

Holy Christ, you watch that TVO docu "There are no Fakes" then listen to the recent OPP news brief

Finally!!!! Loved his podcast and his work!!!

[Stoveperrault]

How come the person who calls himself “Animal” in the comments don’t use his real name. Because that’s what cowards do. I use my real name.

i did my high school in Fort Frances, the end of the 80s and had friends that came to thunder bay none ever mentioned any problems. and i now live in thunder bay. no problems

[jamiereinhardt]

As someone born and raised in thunder bay and what he failed to mention is the indigenous community refuses to take accountability or responsibility for their own actions..
We see it daily in thunder bay.

There are hundreds of stories from Indigenous Peoples about "Star light Tours" and how they are perpetrated by the RCMP, OPP, and even Thunder Bay Police. It is truly disgusting and disturbing that the authorities that are supposed to serve and protect the general public are the ones who are gaining laughs and satisfaction from dumping people out in the middle of nowhere (often hours from the nearest city) with no shoes and clothes at night, and sometimes in the dead of winter!

[hunterangeconeb]

I see so many people from Thunder Bay are still trying to ignore this. Looks like after this it will need to continue.

[lsseaside]

Where are the police RCMP the government of This is horrifying I am so embarrassed as a Canadian. I am so sad so angry

[matthewsmith]

If people knew what Ryan has done to the women he’s claimed to LOVE in his personal life they wouldn’t have the respect and admiration for him that he’s receiving right now. The mental and emotional abuse he put on my sister was inhumane and I will never forgive him for it.

There’s just way TOO MANY indigenous people who are being wiped off the planet!!! It’s really something to hear what this man is talking about with regards to preciously what’s truly occurring in Thunder Bay. My heart breaks 💔for you people who are experiencing this sickening evil! I’m having a hard time with my words in this comment area. But I’m really incredibly shocked 😳 about what is being allowed to take place with these precious individuals! WHOA to those who are wiping off this planet these unique individuals!! We’re all uniquely different in our own ways > but to destroy the lives of these unique individuals is beyond comprehension!!! If anyone reads this comment & really still doesn’t believe in a INVISIBLE ENEMY > called the devil & Satan, let me inform you that any person who’s killing them, they’re doing the work of the DEVIL > he’s out to kill, maim, destroy in any way he possibly can! And he may be using the government & police who are YES supposed to be protecting every human creature from harm > NOT CAUSE IT or IGNORE IT!!! God help you that are doing this killing > GOD WILL PAY BACK IN HIS WAY!!! AND YOU THAT KILL WILL NOT LIKE IT!!!!
